I know that say that it's not over until the blood test... but seriously - when you're bleeding and cramping as heavily as I am tonight, there can be no doubt that it's a BFN. :-(
so DH has left for his two week trip to Japan tonight and when I'm at the airport dropping him off it becomes abundantly clear that AF is here to stay. AF is not usually really heavy for me and certainly not the first day! Has anyone else found it's heavier than usual after IVF?
I think I'm okay about it, and of course there is still hope - but looks like I'm out this month.
I knew it was wishful thinking for 1st cycle to work....
Oh Myturn I really hope it is not AF. In my stim cycle that was a BFN I never even got a period afterwards so I don't have any advice I'm afraid. Sending you lots of sticky vibes your way. When is your blood test Hun?
Myturn, I am so, so sorry It hurts like nothing else and there is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain and disappointment. My advice is chocolate, ice-cream (or other vice of choice) and a mindless film. Cry as much as you need to and don't answer the phone to anyone you don't want to talk to x
In answer to your question, your period will likely be much heavier and painful due to the progesterone just to add more salt to the wound
thanks guys - it is nice to know there are people out there thinking of you.
- part of me wants to sook and text all the people that know what's happening (which is a total sum of five) and the other part wants nothing to do with anyone. Had my binge already - makes me feel better and worse all at the same time. lol @ comfort eating.... of course... there will be a new plan tomorrow --- seriously if I could just lose another 10kg I'm sure that would be a good start.
BT is wednesday morning - and I've got a busy few days at work so I should be able to stay occupied. I kinda feel sorry for DH, I imagine it's hard hearing your wife on the phone crying and not being able to do anything about it.
I read somewhere that you shouldn't use tampon's in early preg - I wasn't planning to use them at night - cause of course I need to keep using the crinone, but I was wondering whether I can use them during the day?
so assuming it is a BFN - next opportunity for a cycle is december - which would put the EPU & ET over x'mas.... anyone know if MIVF be open then?
Awww Myturn, big hugs to you, hun. There is nothing anyone can say to make you feel any better but do what you have to do to get through the next few days. Noone and nothing else is as important as yourself and DH atm so take care and do what's right for you
myturn glad you've found a support base to keep you sane
I just did my first gonal F injection... 150 iu... so we are off and running.
Had a big chat to the FS about our embryo situation, and I think we are going to have to relax and be happy with whatever God/the universe/mother nature decides to give us, give up control a little (as if we ever had it?) and try to fertilise everything.
Still OK to t/f 2 which is good. BT thursday, scan monday, pick up likely monday in 2 weeks. Whoop
good luck Maruschke! I do hope your dreams come true this time - you deserve it, for all the challenges you've had.
Blood test moved forward to tomorrow morning - as the nurse said "just to check there's nothing untoward".... seemed a weird thing to say - what does she mean by that?
I'm gunna get back on track and try to get another cycle in in december - Now that I know more about what's going on, I feel more like I can ask the right questions this time. Assuming AF arrives on time next month I'll be going for an approximate start date of 12th dec.... a birthday present for me - officially over the hill on 10th Dec... when I finally turn 35....
never wanted/expected to be an old mum - and now I'll be nearly 36 before I have my first.... bleugh. hate it hate it hate it.

: spelling mistake!!
Myturn- sorry about AF coming when she is very unwanted- the nurse was probably meaning they need to check theres no evidence of an ectopic, cos you can still bleed with those. Glad you are looking to the future. I thought I was going ot be a mum at 37 and thought that was old, now I'll be lucky if I"m one at 40!!!! Scary...
maruscke- go antagonist cycle!!
hi everyone else, I'll be in the tww on thursday, I'm having my transfer then- yay!!
Well I had a crap morning. I accidently dialled up too much in the gonal F pen, and couldn't figure out how to turn it back. So I tried pressing the button and fluid came out? I managed to get it back to zero that way, then dialled it back up to 150 and injected, but I have no idea if I actually injected anything at all.
I'm back and have just started my 4th Stim cycle this year. This will be the last one for the year and maybe forever. It's starting to feel like
My FS said you might want to consider using an egg donor if the next couple are BFN's. Not quite sure I want to go down that path. How does everyone else feel about it? Would you consider it?
I'm trying to stay positive for this cycle. Please give me the best xmas present this year
MyTurn So sorry you got a BFN. Glad you've got a positive outlook and are starting again
Maruschke I'm about a day ahead of you in my Atagonist cycle so we should be in the 2WW together. All the best.
Hi to the familiar names, Saffy, Melissa. Hope it's all going well.
hope the convo goes well
crap....
glad you've found a support base to keep you sane
to everyone else!
